A fabulous chance to purchase a charming silk worker's cottage, believed to date to the 1850's, which has recently been sympathetically updated and presented to the market with the bonus of no onward chain. The cottage is situated down a pedestrian walk way, enjoying a peaceful location where silence is broken by bird song and the odd passerby on their way home and is within easy reach of the town's amenities. The property has benefited from a complete refurbishment that included new electrics, new economical and individually controlled electric heating radiators, woodworm and damp treatments as well as a stylish new bathroom suite fitted. In addition, an attractive wood burner has been installed, beautiful Teak woodblock flooring was uncovered and the roof ridge has been redone. The cottage also is fitted with a bespoke kitchen, some new carpeting laid and has been redecorated throughout. Gem Cottage certainly delivers and lives up to its name and viewing is vital to appreciate the cottage and its environment.
